This week on Family Policy Matters, NC Family Communications Director Traci DeVette Griggs sits down with Alexandra McPhee, attorney and Director of Religious Freedom Advocacy for Family Research Council. McPhee discusses her recent publication, “Rebels Without a Clause: When Senators Run Roughshod Over the ‘No Religious Test’ Clause of the U.S. Constitution,” which addresses the recent trend of some U.S. Senators employing seemingly religious tests on nominees for public office. McPhee also examines the parameters of the “No Religious Test” clause, and why our Founding Fathers sought to include it in our Constitution.
